GLASS-BAR BRACKET FOR LOOMS FOR WEAVING SILK RIBBON OR FRINGE.

SIECIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 439,807, dated November 4, 1890. Application filed November 14, 1889. Serial No. 330,319. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM HENRY SOHLEICHER, a citizen of the United States,residing at New York city, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in the Glass-Bar Brackets for Looms for Weaving Silk Ribbon or Fringe; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

The invention relates to brackets for holding glass bars on the breast-beam of a loom for weaving silk ribbon or fringe.

Theinvention will firstbe described in connection with the drawings, and then'pointed out in the claim.

Figure 1 of the drawings isavertical crosssection of the breast-beam and glass bar with my improved bracket and its support, the said support being also in section attached thereto; and Fig. 2, a side elevation of the same.

In the drawings, A represents the breastbeam, and B a rail, which extends the length of the beam, is fastened thereto by screws 1), and is provided with opposite flanges b b at an obtuse angle to the body of the rail.

C is one of the brackets, which have a dovetail opening a, which fits loosely over the flanges Z) I) of the rail, so as to slide thereon readily and be adjusted to any desired position.

It will be easily seen that a bracket may be slipped on or off the rail without any difficulty, and after adjustment to its intended place may be there fastened by a set-screw c. 0

vent it from being injured by contacting with the metal. The cover is held in place by a screw 01 and is prevented from lateral displacement by the projection and groove (1' d The function of the glass bars or rods is to prevent friction and cutting of the material passing forward in the loom.

The wooden beam and glass bars, combined with a bracket having covered bearings and means for clasping it to the beam, form the subject-matter of my pending application, Serial No. 329,363, and is there claimed.

Having thus described all that is necessary to a full understanding of my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to protect by Letters Patent, is

The combination, with the breast-beam A,of the glass-bar bracket 0, having the dovetailed opening 0, the rail B, extending the whole length of the beam, said rail being provided with flanges b b, which form a dovetail tenon on which the bracket may slide, and a set-screw whereby the said bracket is fastened in position, as described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

WILLIAM HENRY SCHLEICHER.
